How can I solo Zurhidon Negotiator as a M/P?

I'm a level 53/39 M/P, with 40k(50k if you count the shield buff from ESD) HP & 26k M.Attack Buffed...

I can't for the life of me solo Zurhidon Negotiator in the Cyclops Lair. Every other boss is simple. Though, the door for Uguda is blocked apparently and I'm assuming it will open if I defeat Zurhidon instead of skipping him.

The problem I have with Zurhidon is once I get into the actual fight I'm basically dead before I know what happened. I get slowed and I don't know how I am supposed to root each of the add's long enough to kill off the Boss. If I somehow managed to root each add individually for long enough, I would be dead by the time I finish rooting them.


Any tips? Is it possible to just purg fire and nuke the adds? My purg fire can 2 hit most every other elite in the instance.

His attacks are % based,so swap your gear to 15k or so with losing minimal magic attack and int, grab aggro of all elites around him and purg then nuke the boss, youll have to keep your hp up so use regen and also, he stuns and fears alot so keep that in mind.

nah, negotiator is easy if you CC the adds, they are the ones that provide the % based attack. lightning and discharge them, and you should be fine for a while, and when in doubt, kite, because the adds need to be in range to cast % based attack. there is a weird mechanic in that fight were many regular silence/slows have a knockdown effect on the adds, and as scout, i just pop all the adds with joint blow every now and then and it's fine, because the adds can't cast the spell while face up on the ground. idk what skills from m/p work for the knockdown, but test a couple of the standard CC skills i have mentioned and you should figure it out.

also, if you can't figure out how to CC the adds, then just t-storm kite adds/boss, and you will beat him unscathed, even though it may take a while

cheers and gl

edit: with that HP and MATT, you should be able to solo TT if you so desired...may take a bit of time due to low attack, but would be possible...i used to be able to solo TT on my scout with lower stats than that, and yes, ik scouts are different than mages, but honestly, from playing both, m/p has more solo ability than s/d anyday ;)
my r/p can outdps r/m. your name is stupid.

mages should stack dex. word.

I solo'd Clops with way less than you had and was able to do it. I rewatched my old solo from April of 2011 and took note as to how I fought. What I did was pull 3 of the mobs to one corner of the room and kill them. After that, I pulled the 4th to the opposite side and killed it. After that I dps'd the boss till he sacraficed an add to restore his health. Througout the fight, there's 4 debuffs you'll get: Fear, Slowed Down, Constructive Incantation, and Incantation of C..... I don't know the full name of 4th one becasue it was cut off in my video. Apparently you want to stay away/kite while you have that "incantation of c...." on you. Dps during the rest of the fight.

According to the credits in my video, my unbuffed stats at the time were: HP: 25k / Mattk: 14.6k / Pdef: 18k / Mdef: 23k. I didn't really use any stat increasing buffs like Hero or mattk food. All I did was self buffs. You should have no problem with the fight with you're stats as long as you follow what I did.

This was way back when I was M/R and before they upgraded Electrostatic charge to block a % hp. (It used to only block 1200ish points when capped back then) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdUSAQ0O8Ss

Sorry for crappy framerate. This was recorded on my laptop a loooooong time ago

Also, note World shout during the 2nd boss fight. "WTB dias 9k per....". Miss the good ol' days

as cloaked points out, once u know strat, the boss really isn't hard at all, and killing adds is also a viable way to make it alot easier. the adds must be only affected by aoe's i believe though, because i can never harm them on scout...
